Mesa gravel loads
Gravel trucks from the Mesa pit
Mesa Sand and Gravel Pit 1, which the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists as a sand and gravel operation, lies about 5.5 miles east of Flora Vista. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that hauls from that pit is often parked at the pit gate or a yard nearby, so give us that location when you get in touch and we will collect it there.
Another 8.1 miles south-east, the Bloomfield Processing Facility appears in the same Mine Safety and Health Administration listing as a sand and gravel operation. If your truck splits its loads between Bloomfield and the Mesa pit, photograph the bed, the tailgate and the cab, and keep the registration in the glovebox so the pickup goes smoothly.
Tank tractors at BLOOMFIELD, minerals at Waterflow
According to the Energy Information Administration, a petroleum product terminal named BLOOMFIELD stands 12.3 miles south-east of Flora Vista. Tank tractors that load there are welcome on our list; tell us whether the trailer goes with the tractor or stays behind, and send the VIN for each unit.
Waterflow Pit is an industrial-mineral mine about 23.3 miles west of town, per the Mine Safety and Health Administration. If your truck is parked out on the Waterflow side, tell us the spot and we will collect it there.
Oilfield, machinery and freight carriers in Flora Vista
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 25 active carriers based in Flora Vista, and 13 of them list oilfield equipment as cargo, the same 13 that list machinery and large objects and general freight. Winch trucks, lowboy tractors and flatbed units fit that mix, so name the body type and any mounted equipment when you describe yours.
Seven local carriers haul logs, poles, beams and lumber, a figure also drawn from the FMCSA carrier census. Log trucks and pole trailers belong in what we buy; a photo of the bunks and the trailer plate with the title in hand keeps the paperwork straightforward.
Of those carriers, the FMCSA census shows 12 cleared for interstate work, 13 for intrastate only and 12 operating private fleets that haul their own goods. Whether your authority crosses state lines or not, the sale works the same way; just bring the title and current registration.
Inside the valley radius
Flora Vista drivers parked near home at night
In FMCSA’s carrier census, Flora Vista carriers report 139 drivers working within 100 miles of base against 28 who go further. For most sellers here that means the truck is parked locally at night, so give us the yard or home address where it sits after the shift.
Nine carriers reported mileage to FMCSA, and the median among them is 10,000 miles a truck each year. Note your odometer reading when you contact us; it is one of the first figures we ask for, along with the VIN.
Fleet sizes vary widely: the biggest local carrier in the FMCSA census operates 20 power units with 128 drivers, the next 11 units with 7 drivers, and a third 5 units with a single driver. We take one truck or several, and a fleet seller can send one list of VINs for every unit.
Contractor rigs and San Juan stock trailers
Of the 292 jobs the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place in Flora Vista for 2023, builders and contractors fill 82, a little over a quarter at 28.1 percent. County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 10 construction establishments here, so contractor dump trucks, water trucks and equipment haulers are a familiar sight on local roads.
Across the wider county, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 2,877 farms in San Juan County, led by cattle, sheep and equine operations. Livestock haulers and ranch flatbeds from those places are part of what we purchase; keep the title in the owner’s name as it appears on the registration.
A duplicate title just down the road in Farmington
Titles in this state are issued by the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division, through its MVD field offices. The New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division lists NM MVD Field Office - Farmington at 3501 E Main St #N, Farmington, 87402, 5.3 miles from Flora Vista, and a lost title can be applied for there before the sale.
New Mexico has its Advanced Clean Trucks rule and its Heavy-Duty Omnibus engine standard in force. Neither changes what you need to sell a truck to us: the title, the registration, and photos of the cab, chassis and any equipment it carries.
